The Effects Of Protection On The Patter Of Trade: A Disaggregated Analysis (A), Jon D. Haveman, U. C. Nair, Jerry Thursby Jan 1997

The Effects Of Protection On The Patter Of Trade: A Disaggregated Analysis (A), Jon D. Haveman, U. C. Nair, Jerry Thursby

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

We analyze the effects of protection using disaggregated data. This permits analysis of distinct effects of tariffs and NTBs on trade. Our analysis indicates that tariffs tend to shift trade towards larger exporters. We find significant trade diversion caused by tariffs. In the case of NTBs, we find quantitative barriers are more likely to raise prices than are price restrictions. Quantity barriers appear to lead exporters to concentrate on higher priced varieties. We do not find much evidence to suggest that countries not targeted by an NTB gain at the expense of targeted countries. We find that NTBs tend to …


Currency Boards, Expectations And Inflation Persistence, J. A. Carlson Jan 1997

Currency Boards, Expectations And Inflation Persistence, J. A. Carlson

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Adopting the exchange rate as a nominal anchor for monetary stabilization has proved costly in a number of countries as inflationary inertia produces severe real exchange rate appreciation. What causes inflation persistence? Complementary to existing explanation such as staggered contracts and low credibility, we note that the introduction of a new monetary rule, such as a fixed exchange rate reduces inflationary expectations immediately to the target level only if all agents understand the implications of the rule.


Shareholder Wealth Effects On Joint Venture Termination: A Transaction Cost Analysis, J. J. Reuer Jan 1997

Shareholder Wealth Effects On Joint Venture Termination: A Transaction Cost Analysis, J. J. Reuer

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Managing joint venture (JV transitions can have implications for parent firm performance as JVs become important, albeit temporary, instruments of firms' corporate and international strategies. This study examines the average shareholder wealth effects of five specific types of JV termination. Empirical evidence from U.S. firms terminating domestic and international JVs reveals venture termination neither positively nor negatively influences firm value on average, and no one type of JV termination is superior to its alternatives in general.


Measurement Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainties: Response And Extension, K. D. Miller Jan 1997

Measurement Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainties: Response And Extension, K. D. Miller

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Miller (1993) presented an instrument for measuring managers' perceptions of the environmental uncertainties relevant to international business. Application of this instrument by Werner, Brouthers, and Brouthers (1996), led them to suggest an alternative measurement instrument. This study applies confirmatory factor analysis to examine the reliability and discriminant validity of these alternatives PEU scales.


Economic Lessons Of The Kobe Earthquake, G. Horwich Jan 1997

Economic Lessons Of The Kobe Earthquake, G. Horwich

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

The earthquake that struck the Japanese port city of Kobe on January 17, 1995, was the most severe quake ever to strike a modern urban area. It has become the most studied, analyzed, and discussed natural disaster in history. What I propose to add to this dialogue is an economist's overview of what he saw in Kobe 19 months after the event and what he learned during the ensuing 6 months.


What Can We Learn From Bilateral Trade? Gravity And Beyond, Jon Haveman, David L. Hummels Jan 1997

What Can We Learn From Bilateral Trade? Gravity And Beyond, Jon Haveman, David L. Hummels

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Much empirical international trade reserach requires a careful analysis of bilateral trade patterns. In this paper we examine a commonly used technique called the gravity equation. Though the use of the gravity equation on aggregate data is well-grounded in monopolistic competition trade theory, we show that central predictions necessary for its derivation can be rejected with simple tests on disaggregated data


Rational Speculators And Exchange Rate Volatility, J. A. Carlson, C. L. Olser Jan 1997

Rational Speculators And Exchange Rate Volatility, J. A. Carlson, C. L. Olser

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This paper suggests a structural connection between rational speculative activity and exchange rate volatility. We note that, when Friedman originally claimed that rational speculators must smooth exchange rate, he excluded interest rate differentials form his interpretation of speculator behavior. If interest rates matter, rational speculators could sometimes violate Friedman's description, and buy a currency whose value is relatively high or sell a currency whose value is low.

Reflection Anistropy Spectroscopy Study Of The Near Surface Electric Field In Low-Temperature Grown Gaas (001), Todd Holden, Fred H. Pollak, J. L. Freeouf, D. Mcinturff, J. L. Gray, Mark S. Lundstrom, J. M. Woodall Jan 1997

Reflection Anistropy Spectroscopy Study Of The Near Surface Electric Field In Low-Temperature Grown Gaas (001), Todd Holden, Fred H. Pollak, J. L. Freeouf, D. Mcinturff, J. L. Gray, Mark S. Lundstrom, J. M. Woodall

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

We have evaluated an ‘‘effective depletion width’’ of =< 45 Å and the sign (n-type/upward band bending) of the near surface electric field in low-temperature grown GaAs ~001! using the optical method of reflection anisotropy spectroscopy in the vicinity of the spin-orbit split E1 , E1 + Delta1 optical features. Our results provide evidence that surface Fermi level pinning occurs for air exposed (001) surfaces of undoped low temperature grown GaAs.


Technique For Measurement Of The Minority Carrier Mobility With A Bipolar Junction Transistor, S. L. D'Souza, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom, E. S. Harmon Jan 1997

Technique For Measurement Of The Minority Carrier Mobility With A Bipolar Junction Transistor, S. L. D'Souza, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom, E. S. Harmon

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

A simple technique to measure the minority carrier mobility using a bipolar junction transistor is demonstrated. By fixing the base-emitter voltage, the carrier injection into the base is constant. The collector current is then monitored as a function of a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the current transport across the base. The magnetic field leads to an increase in base transit time and a corresponding decrease in collector current. From the resulting fractional change in collector current, the minority carrier mobility in the base can be determined. For narrow base transistors, quasiballistic transport across the base must be taken into …


Electrical Characteristics Of Nearly Relaxed Inas/Gap Heterojunctions, E H. Chen, T. P. Chin, J. M. Woodall, Mark S. Lundstrom Jan 1997

Electrical Characteristics Of Nearly Relaxed Inas/Gap Heterojunctions, E H. Chen, T. P. Chin, J. M. Woodall, Mark S. Lundstrom

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The electrical properties of lattice mismatched InAs/GaP heterojunctions are examined. In spite of a high dislocation density at the heterointerface, the current versus voltage characteristics show nearly ideal behavior with low reverse leakage currents and high breakdown voltages. The forward currentvaried exponentially with bias displaying ideal factors of 1.10 or less. Band offsets estimated from current–voltage and capacitance–voltage analysis are consistent with previous estimates based on differences in Schottky barrier heights.

Building Embankments Of Fly/Bottom Ash Mixtures, Ahmed M.K. Karim, C. W. Lovell, Rodrigo Salgado Jan 1997

Building Embankments Of Fly/Bottom Ash Mixtures, Ahmed M.K. Karim, C. W. Lovell, Rodrigo Salgado

JTRP Technical Reports

This research investigates the engineering properties of mixtures of bottom ash and Class F fly ash relevant to their utilization in highway embankment construction. The research included ash samples from two major power plants in Indiana that disposed of their ash differently. The first power plant disposes of the bottom ash and fly ash separately and hence explicit mixtures were synthetically formed and tested. The second power plant disposes of the bottom ash and fly ash together in a common location and hence they become homogeneous samples for the research. Characterization of the ash included grain size analysis, specific gravity, …
